Man desperate to find dog after car stolen with the Yorkie inside

SOUTH FULTON COUNTY, Ga. - A man is desperate to find his dog after someone stole his car with the four-pound teacup Yorkie inside at a South Fulton County gas station.

Surveillance video shows a thief slide into the victim's car at a Citgo off Fulton Industrial Boulevard early Tuesday morning and take off. The dog, "Mr Big," was in the car at the time.

Channel 2's Matt Johnson spoke with the victim, who said he only went inside for a few minutes and when he came back, his car, and his beloved dog, were gone. Jesse Cromer told Johnson he went inside because he was having problems at the pump and left the car running because of the heat.

Within seconds, someone had driven away with his 2017 Chevrolet Spark.

"The gas cap was open in the car and the pump was just laying on the ground," Cromer said.

Cromer said he doesn't care about the car, he just wants his dog back.
